 Poster: A snowHead
|
Our 14year old has grown AGAIN, and we unfortunately will have to replace his ski jacket & trousers before our April trip. Can anybody suggest if any brands are better for very slim and tall men. His Dad is the same height but the weight difference means none of his gear is of any use.
He is 6ft1 (185cm) and 9st 4lbs (59kg)
We have no ski wear shops locally so it will have to be internet orders and I would like to try and avoid too many returns.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

alex99, Hells Bells, Thanks I will look at North Face and Columbia. I'm sure we always got him Columbia kit when he was much younger (cheap in the outlets in the states)

muppet, FWIW I sympathise. I've got two tall skinny ones, I've just kitted my youngest son (12) out in Dare-2-B and got a good fit, they might be worth a look, but be careful with the picking. If you can find one of their good thick jackets they are certainly good enough for a year or so until they grow again, but some of their gear is not quite as thick and warm in my opinion. N.B. It's much cheaper to stop feeding them.
